I’m growing tired with arguing with people who aren’t alarmed with the rise of American fascism. Either you see it or you don’t. Either you realize that just after Election Day 2024 we’re going to be faced with the existential choice of MAGA fascist autocracy, military junta or civil war or you don’t.
While I continue to believe we’re not going to have a civil war — that doesn’t stop me from worrying about that possibility a lot. A whole lot.
If, for no other reason, ding-dong Trump forcing the matter. He could, unto himself, force us to confront that issue of autocracy or civil war one way or another.
And if there is a civil war, it’s going to be Blues who start it. But maybe I am being hysterical. Maybe we’re going to just muddle through this existential crisis just like we muddle through everything else.
I have my doubts, however.
